This cultivar produces fruit in the autumn which is a better time for me
and in the first year. Some sources *suggest* it needs less support than
others. Is that really true? I have a sheltered garden and would prefer
not to have the usual post and wire ugliness.

Also, this cultivar is described as sweet. That's fine but if it isn't
fairly acid too, I won't like it ...
